KISS Army - JR Smalling Cancer Drive: Let's Help!

5/7/2019

KISS's original road manager, J.R. Smalling, has had a fund-raising campaign launched on his behalf. Smalling guided the fledgling KISS from 1974 through their breakthrough with ALIVE! and Destroyer, and is perhaps most remembered for being the man who literally invented perhaps the most famous concert introduction in rock: KISS's famous "You wanted the best..." intro. It is Smalling's voice, in fact, who begins the band's 1975 double-disc Alive!

Smalling was diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer in 2018. The outlook for that disease is dire with the average patient surviving anywhere from just six months to four years.

Fortunately, Smalling's oncologists have found an aggressive treatment plan that has halted the disease's progress in its tracks. The downside is that the medication and associated costs are crippling.

Alex Richter interviews Bobby Rock

2/9/2019

As the driving force behind the HARD N FAST fanzine, Alex Richter interviewed a who's who of rock royalty.

I was surprised to learn that his final interview was done in THE KISS ROOM.

Alex interviewed drummer Bobby Rock on the July 2018 edition of THE KISS ROOM. Bobby was releasing his new book, “This Boy Is Gonna Rock, a drummer’s journey from Houston to Hollywood in search of hair metal heaven”.

The interview is a conversation between two friends, filled with stories and memories from each.

You can hear it via The PodKISSt feed on iTunes, Spotify and More.
